PTS: 1 DIF: Application REF: p. 2 OBJ: 2 TOP: CDA, Infection Control, II.D. Demonstrate an understanding of asepsis procedures 4. When was the “Golden Age of Microbiology”? a. Mid to late 1600s b. Mid to late 1700s c. Mid to late 1800s d. Mid to late 1900s ANS: C Mid to late 1600s and mid to late 1700s were too early. Mid to late 1800s was the time when many new discoveries in microbiology were made. Mid to late 1900s was too late. PTS: 1 DIF: Recall REF: p. 2 OBJ: 2 TOP: CDA, Infectio n Control, I.A. Demonstrate an understanding of infectious diseases and their relationship to patient safety and occupational risk 5. What microbes are used to make vinegar, vitamins, drain cleaners, enzymes, and other products? a. Fungi b. Viruses c. Protozoa d. Bacteria ANS: D Fungi can make antibiotics but not these products. Viruses grow inside living cells and do not make such products. Protozoa are not very efficient in making such products. Bacteria make these and others products when they are grown in large vats. PTS: 1 DIF: Recall REF: p. 3 OBJ: 3 TOP: CDA, Infection Control, I.A. Demonstrate an understanding of infectious diseases and their relationship to patient safety and occupational risk 6. Which mic robes are used tTo EmSakTeBpAicNkKleSs EouLtLofEcRu.cuCmObMers? a. Bacteria or fungi b. Fungi or viruses c. Viruses or yeasts d. Bacteria of viruses ANS: A Bacteria or fungi make certain extracellular products that change cucumbers into pickles. Viruses do not produce products that affect cucumbers. PTS: 1 DIF: Recall REF: p. 3 OBJ: 3 TOP: CDA, Infection Control, I.A. Demonstrate an understanding of infectious diseases and their relationship to patient safety and occupational risk 7. What microbe is used to make bread dough rise? a. Bacteria b. Yeasts c. Viruses d. Protozoa ANS: B Bacteria do not produce enough carbon dioxide (CO 2) to make the dough rise. Yeasts metabolize carbohydrates to produce the gas bubbles of CO 2 which causes the dough to rise. Viruses only grow inside of living cells and do not have a regular metabolism. Protozoa do not produce enough carbon dioxide (CO 2) to make the dough rise. PTS: 1 DIF: Recall REF: p. 3 OBJ: 3 TOP: CDA, Infection Control, I.A.

The disease of smallpox wTasEiSnvToBlvAeNd KinSthEeLdLisEcoRv.eCryOoMf immuni zations in the 1790s by Edward Jenner. ANS: T Edward Jenner is credited with recognizing the concept of immunization when he realized in the 1790s that milkmaids who caught cowpox, a mild disease, were protected from the more serious disease of smallpox. PTS: 1 DIF: Recall REF: p. 3 OBJ: 2 TOP: CDA, Infection Control, I.C. Demonstrate an understanding of the need for immunization against infectious diseases (e.g., hepatitis B) Chapter 02: Characteristics of Microorganisms Miller: Infecti on Control and Management of Hazardous Materials for the Dental Team, 6th Edition MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. Under what conditions do regular bacteria, excluding Richettsia and Chlamydia , multiply: a. in the absence of nutrients. b. only when they are inside of living cells. c. when they are outside of living cells. d. only when the temperature is below 7°C. ANS: C Nothing can grow in the absence of nutrients. Rickettsia and Chlamydia are the only bacteria that can grow inside living cells. Regular bacteria do not need to be inside living cells to grow. They can obtain their nutrients from the environment. Only the special bacteria called psychrophiles can grow at these low temperatures. PTS: 1 DIF: Application REF: p. 12 OBJ: 1 TOP: CDA, Infection Control, I.A. Demonstrate an understanding of infect ious diseases and their relationship to patient safety and occupational risk 2. Select an environment in which viruses can multiply. a. Only in the absence of nutrients b. Only when they are inside of living cells c. Only when they are outside of living cells d. Only when the temperature is below 7°C ANS: B Nothing can grow in the absence of nutrients. Viruses need the nutrients and metabolic machinery of living cells to multiply. Viruses cannot obtain their nutrients from the environment. Only the special bacteria called psychrophiles can grow at these low temperatures.

Which of the following microbes is a yeast? a. Streptococcus mutans b. Trichomonas vaginalis c. Candida albicans d. Staphylococcus aureus ANS: C Streptococcus mutans is a bacterium. Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan. Candida albicans can exist as a yeast which is a special fungus. Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium.
